This is what a pro told me for shoulder workout

[Kaytime]

i saw this one guy with big ass delts and i asked him what he does do get them big.

this is what he told me his routine is

Push Press 3 sets
Dumbell Press 3 sets
Lateral raise (Thumbs Facing Floor) 3 sets
Bent Over Rows 3 sets


What do you guys think? i wouldnt mind giving this a shot but i would like to hear your opinions first. 2 presses better then 1 in a shoulder workout

Personaly i think delt workouts should consist of more isolation exercises.

1 pressing movement
2 or 3 raising movements ( isolation)

Whatever you do will work if you put in 100% and use good form

My routine varies but usually includes:

db press
military/behind neck press
lateral raises

I was told a long time ago that heavy pressing movements are king for big delts and have always followed that advice.

IMO a balanced delt will look rounder and better than an unbalanced delt even if it is smaller.

I now switch my first exercise between Standing BB press and side laterals.

When pressing lower the weight and focus on using your delts as much as possible

Remember balanced delts look better, dont skimp on rear and side delt work

ALWAYS

very true.

im thinking i might just give it a go for 6 weeks. i have a lifetime to train so its no biggie

ive had some success with doing three of those exercises (press, db press, and lateral raise with the thumbs down) super setting the three movements. i do for 5 or 6 sets and it destroys them pretty well.

What is DB laterals with thumbs down?? Its a rehab exercise (Empty cup raises) , and its actually dangerous.

you might be confused. not dangerous. it's simply a lateral dumbell raise for the lateral deltoid head.

when you perform it the arms are rotated so that the elbows are pushed up towards the ceiling. this works the lateral deltoid instead of the front deltoid (which is worked when the raise is performed with the "common" technique)

milos explains this very thoroughly in the middle of this video.

also another quick question. how do you guys get heavy dumbbells up int he air?

i had a hard time trying to get 132pounds up so i got 2 people to help me and pressed them for 4 reps (last 1 needed spotter) but u lose alot of energy just bringing them up ay?

This video shows how to pop them up really well, if you can't do that you have no reason lifting the weight IMO. It's the only thing that keeps me from going heavier on db shoulder press.
